Lety la fea

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

La fea más bella was a Mexican telenovela produced by Televisa. It is the second Mexican version of the popular Colombian telenovela Betty la fea. La fea más bella stars popular actress/singer/comedian Angélica Vale and actor/singer Jaime Camil, with one of the most diverse and popular supporting casts ever assembled in Mexico, including Angélica María, José José, Sergio Mayer, Elizabeth Álvarez, Patricia Navidad and many others.

Telenovelas are wildly popular throughout the Spanish speaking world and their limited run series are very profitable. La fea más bella is the number one Univision TV program according to 2006 Nielsen ratings. It also beats out some American programming in the 8 to 9 PM timeslot. For the week of Nov. 6-12, 2006, La fea más bella averaged approximately 5 million viewers each evening. It was ranked in the Nielsen Ratings's top 100 rated shows at numbers 79, 80, 82, 83 and 86. It is notable that this telenovela's Neilsen rated show, #80, on a Thursday night beat out the CW's Smallville which came in at #84 with 4.46 million viewers.

And tonight it comes to an end on a projected three hour finale. We will for sure miss this novela, only every once in a while such a clean family oriented fun show comes around. What are we going to do from 7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. It's been said before that all good things must come to an end.

But we are not just going to sit at our homes and watch this episode, no, no, no, no, no. We are gathering at my mom's after work for some tacos, salsas, possibly frijoles and good ole hearty family unity. We all watch it and so I think events like this are a good excuse to be together, have good food and enjoy the last episode of a great show.
